Khamenei’s advisor: Iran is open to talks with America
10:23 PM: Iran has shown itself open to direct talks with the United States, and appears ready to change its policy toward its arch enemy. The ISNA news agency quoted Kamal Sharasi, foreign policy advisor to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as saying, “The Americans consider diplomacy the best option (…). We share the same opinion and are also ready to return to negotiations.”

Biden Advisor Sullivan: We will not abandon Israel

He added, „This does not mean that he abandons Israel or deprives it of weapons.”
Biden is concerned about a “specific operation” that he does not believe is capable of defeating the Islamist Hamas movement. “No one has been more supportive of Israel than Joe Biden,” Sullivan said. Biden made clear that he would continue to ensure that Israel has what it needs to defend itself.
Blinken: The attack on Rafah will not destroy Hamas
